  Online Figure: BAT activity as assessed with ¹⁸F-FDG. The intense yellow regions in the transverse plane of the PET/CT image (A) show the areas of BAT (arrow). Comparative PET-CT scans reveal the patterns of ¹⁸F-FDG uptake in the same subject under thermoneutral conditions (22°C) and after exposure to heat (28°C). There is no detectable BAT activity after heat exposure (arrow, B).
